I want to tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widowed wife
|
Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High
|
Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
|
She said Mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley P.T.A.
|
The note said Misses Johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high
|
It's reported you've been drinking and a runnin' round with men and going wild
|
And we don't believe you ought to be a bringing up your little girl this way
|
It was signed by the secretary, Harper Valley P.T.A.
|
Well, it happened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet that very afternoon
|
They were sure surprised when Misses Johnson wore her miniskirt into the
|
room
|
And as she walked up to the blackboard I still recall the words she had to say
|
She said, I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley
|
P.T.A.
|
Well there's Bobby Taylor, sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a
|
date
|
Misses Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
|
And Mister Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
|
And shouldn't Widow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled
|
completely down ?
|
Well Mister Harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed to long at Kelly's Bar
|
again
|
And if you smell Shirley Tompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of
|
gin
|
Then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit
|
Well this is just a little Peyton Place and you're all Harper Valley
|
hypocrites
|
No, I wouldn't put you on because it really did , it happend just this way
|
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.
